Official Xbox Mag has a "spring training" article rounding up early looks at the new baseball games. Here's what they have to say about ESPN:
Last year's score: 8.8
How's it look?: Just as nice as last year, with some new touches here and there.
How's it play: Again, just as well as last year. The cursor batting has been dumped in favor of zone batting, but the game doesn't seem to have suffered.
Coolest feature: Potentially, it's first person baseball, but we haven't seen this yet. It turned out great in ESPN Football, and it would be amazing on the diamond.
Biggest weakness: ...but on the other hand it might not be. We need to see this before passing judgement. What's the benefit of first person pitching, for example.
Online: Hellz yeah.
The final word: Looks and plays great once again, but will there be enough new goodies to keep it on top?
